There's few production teams that I can think of who have been able to change with the times and adapt new trends as well as these guys. They've gone from making european hits during the end of the teen pop era (Atomic Kitten, Samantha Mumba, Mis-Teeq) to those guitar driven R&B ballads in the mid '00s (So Sick, Irreplaceable, With You, etc.), Guetta ripoffs (Only Girl), straight ahead pop (Firework), faux-island (Rude Boy, What's My Name & Family), to The Fox, and now successfully adapting DJ Mustard's style as well. In many ways, it's incredible how chameleonic they've been. Several of their productions over the years sound like others could have done them, but even then sometimes the Stargate alternative might be better.

They just have a gift... or even are good at picking up others' talents. Great work with Riri!

Like Max Martin, they know how to team up with newer talent to help progress their sound. Sandy Vee was apart of their growth into big hook production like Katy Perry "Firework", Rihanna "Only Girl", Alexis Jordan "Good Girl", and Ne-Yo "Beautiful Monster". Benny Blanco (Iggy Azalea "Black Widow" and Rihanna "Diamonds"), Chase & Status (Rihanna "Wait Your Turn" and Rita Ora "R.I.P" dubstep sound), Cashmere Cat (Kid Ink "Body Language" and Tinashe "All Hands on Deck"), etc. It's a smart thing to do since it keeps them current on everything and helps them adapt to the climate.

What I love about them this that they really can do anything. Id love to see if they could tackle atmospheric stadium rock

They've been very quiet so far this year even though singles from Ne-Yo and Fifth Harmony have gained traction since there release earlier this year. I'm anticipating the work with Carly Rae Jepsen, Rita Ora (when she actually stops bullsh!tting us), and Rihanna (when she actually stops bullsh!tting us too).
